Package standup.xml Description

Provides classes and interfaces that handle loading and saving of the various XML-based files in STANDUP.

Essentially, if a class can be written to or read from an XML element, it must implement XMLizable. If it can be saved to or loaded from a whole XML file, it must implement XMLsaveable.

Unfortunately, these interfaces do not handle the reading/loading side of things -- that is the responsibility of the implementing class. Typically, they would add a constructor that takes an Element, File, or URL, or a static method that would accept the same parameter and return an instantiated object. To support this, the XMLUtils class provides several parseXML methods.

Finally, the XMLFileChooser class provides standard Java Swing JFileChoosers for selecting files for loading and/or saving.
